Feedback from Beta Channel:
Once a story has been downloaded, and once I start reading book. The icon for the downloaded book shows download icon - where it should show book icon for downloaded book. Screenshots for your reference has been attached.

Text size is too blurred to read.

Make the help tutorial available after first viewing.
More info: We also wanted to know if it would be possible to make the tutorial screens available after the first time you open the app? Maybe a "Tutorial" option on the menu or added to the "About" section?

We want to remove parse, so we need to slowly migrate away from using the parse getDataInBackground.

Hi,

I was following instructions on how to build the project locally so I hopefully could contribute to this awesome project. I am new to firebase and opensource. Can you provide some instructions on how to upload books to the firebase storage container? Do I need json metadata for each book? Where do I download them from? Thank you.

"You will also then need to place books in the storage container on firebase. You should be able to download some books, upload then and change the URL references to point to your book in your storage container."

Hello,

I am experiencing an issue while trying to to open this project in Android studio, I tried everything, below is the gradle issue, can you please help me :

There are many deprecated classes/methods in the project after it was migrated to androidx and the libraries all updated. These will need to be fixed sooner rather than later as they are already piling up. Run lint check to find them.

My name is [...] and I'm currently doing some research on switch-accessible apps! A switch is a device that someone can use to flip between pages of an eBook, or scroll through a PDF. Switches are usually used by disabled individuals that have trouble moving their hands to swipe between screens or hit buttons.
I was wondering if your app was accessible to these kinds of devices? I'm mostly asking about bluetooth switches, but am also curious about switches that connect via earbud jack and USB ports,

Google will discontinue Fabric and everything should be migrated to Firebase
https://get.fabric.io/roadmap

I see some project dependencies for Fabric.

ConstraintLayout has proved by google that it performs about 40% better in the measure/layout phase than RelativeLayout.
I will be happy to work on this feature.

1. Go to Settings
2. Click in Hamburger icon
3. Observe Menu is not opened

Please use screen shots to explain from step 3 to step 5 am completely lost help please, i really want to work on this project but setting it up is hell frustrating. Is making me feel like a novice programmer even though i have been writing android code for 2 years now.

Hello Bookdash developers,

I'm a master student studying third-party libraries update behavior, and trying to build a tool that can help app developers with 3rd party libraries update. The tool should provides insights to developers about libraries in their apps, hence, developers can make better decisions when updating those libraries. The following survey study factors that motivate the update decision.

Please participate in our survey it should only take 4~8 minutes. Your contribution is very important, the answers are anonymously collected.

Thank you for your time and feedback

Am having the same issue even though i have generated my own google-services.json file and pasted in my project. It compiles and crash with the error report "Default FirebaseApp is not initialized in this process org.bookdash.android.qa. Make sure to call FirebaseApp.initializeApp(Context) first." Any help thank you

If the tablet is in offline mode the app takes a long time to time out and load cached content. Probably should check to see if there is network connectivity before trying to make requests.

Can u please explain in detail the procedure to upload books to firebase and all the changes required in the firebaseConfig class file to be recorded to have a running app. Please provide proper information at Point 3 at SETUP section. At present Fake Book keeps loading again and again ;)

I added a brief description to the readme about the organization

Hi,

Thank you for works. I am pretty new in firebase platform.

"
The database rules and storage rules can also be imported into Firebase.
"

I find that the previous rules will be removed when I try to import the database or storage rules. What should I do ?

Can you make a short video guide ?

Regards,
Js

Getting

StorageException: StorageException has occurred.
User does not have permission to access this object.

How to setup Public Read access & authenticated Write access?

• Add a new Activity that will handle search.
• Add search icon to main screen

From Julia -

Return the plainer, sans serif font that you used in previous versions. The reason being that children are mostly using the app and it's been shown that clean, simple fonts really help their reading and character recognition when they first start their literacy journey. We want to make the app as kid-friendly as possible, so I think we should stick to what the experts tell us!

o/ buddybuild Android support would end by March this meant it's an emergency to find an alternative @marianeum wrote a good post advising the use of Bitrise as a good candidate https://deliveroo.engineering/2018/01/15/migrating-from-buddybuild-to-bitrise.html

Hi
https://www.parse.com/

Pls update readme.md file with required changes
Because alot of things are missing in it
Or may be we r not understanding it properly
Thanks

I downloaded the project (zip) and opened the project main folder with Android Studio 2.0 Beta 2 (I think).

Would like to be able to build and "step through/debug" things to learn from it.

After quite a while, it gave this error message:

Error:Execution failed for task ':app:processMockDebugGoogleServices'.

File google-services.json is missing from module root folder. The Google Services Plugin cannot function without it.

On the Gradle Sync tab were these messages. Note that I have all the project source at the E drive location listed. I believe I have all Android Studio settings correctly configured.

Source folders generated at incorrect location
Warning:Folder E:\Downloads\Android Development\BookdashAndroidApp-master\app\build\data-binding-info\mock\debug
Warning:Folder E:\Downloads\Android Development\BookdashAndroidApp-master\app\build\data-binding-info\androidTest\mock\debug
Information:3rd-party Gradle plug-ins may be the cause

Steps to reproduce:

1. Go to any Activity
2. Select Contributors option from the NavigationDrawer
3. Close the dialog box
4. The Contributors option remains selected even though user is in another Activity.

This may also be happening on the Pixel-C, had a crash after the first run, but I got it to work after restarting it.

With the Nexus 9 (with all current updates applied), if you have a fresh install of the application, you can make it through the intro splash screens, but then the app exits. Had a look through the log files and didn't see anything that sticks out during the crash even with a fresh build of the app.

We have tested it on the Nexus 10, Nexus 7 (2013), Nexus 7(2012), and a Sinotec 7inch (wifi only) tablet along with the nexus 4-6p phones with no problem....guessing that it might be due to a native library and the chipset of the 9 but will need to dig.

Please provide the google-services.json file

Just asking: Do you no longer publish releases/ here at GH? The last one listed is 1.0.13 – but the last one on Playstore already 1.0.17?
